Roxas said
that this is the first time that their agency encountered such kind of concern
where an elected official appeared in lewd photos which went viral on social
media.

It will be
recalled that Roxas stepped in the controversy when Gov. Tallado and his wife,
Josie, informed him of the problem.

He denied
acting as family counsel when Mr. and Mrs. Tallado met at his office. However, he admitted that
he assisted in arranging for the couple to meet.

Tallado and Roxas are both members of the Liberal Party.—BICOL STANDARD
